I decided to enter a few of my projects in our County Fair: a skein of this year's Tour de Fleece Shetland wool, and a stole knit from Merino wool I spun during last year's Tour.
This is my first time entering things in the fair, and it was so much fun! Will be back next year for sure!

I have spent the last few hours editing an SOP, the last page of which is a long list of my referenced SOPs and Policies.
I feel like I just participated in an SOP circle-jerk.

I was co-chair of Open Doors, their biggest LGBTQIA student union for 2 years. And very active in their other diversity and inclusion programming.
I've called the office of the president to let them know how deeply they've hurt a 3rd-gen alumnus.

Ohio University will close all diversity, equity and inclusion offices in response to Ohio’s new higher ed law
The closures are a response to Ohio's new higher education law, which prohibits DEI programming at schools that receive state funding.

Tesla just recalled almost every Cybertruck in America due to an exterior panel that could fly off while driving.
They're afraid that the panel will become just as detached as the car's owners.

Donald Trump announced he is classifying any violence at Tesla dealerships as domestic terrorism.
Which logically means that Donald Trump will pardon anyone who commits violence at a Tesla dealership.

These kind of votes are born out of trans representation in government.
Rep. Howell & I have built solid relationships with Republicans and those relationships change hearts, minds, and (eventually) votes.
It is painful, grueling work. But it makes a difference.

Two BIG wins in Motnana!
We killed two anti-trans bills today (a drag ban & a bill requiring CPS to remove trans kids from parents).
I'm so grateful for Montana Democrats, who have stood unwavering in their support of trans rights. And grateful to all the Republicans who said enough is enough.

WOW.
10+ Republicans just flipped in Montana and voted to kill a 25 year statute of limitations on trans care meant to end care, amended it down to 4 years.
This may not seem like a big deal, but it's huge. It's the most Republicans I've seen flip like this in recent memory.
